The big smile Jennifer Garner had on her face during husband Ben Affleck's Oscar acceptance speech was genuine -- even though he called their marriage "work." The Dallas Buyers Club actress, 40, explained to British paper The Telegraph that she took no offense to her husband's off-the-cuff speech.

"I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good," Affleck, 40, said while accepting the Best Picture award for Argo. "It is work but the best kind of work and there's no one I'd rather work with."

Garner told The Telegraph that she knew that some misinterpreted Affleck's comments as a sign of marital trouble. "I had a friend call and say, 'Are you OK?'" she revealed. "I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world," Garner explained. "I think he was saying, 'Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I'm in it with you and I know you are in it with me.' That's the way I took it.'"

Knowing his speech caused a little controversy, Affleck later tried to clarify his comments. "All marriages, all relationships to a certain extent, require your work. They require work and investment," he told Access Hollywood.

But Garner says she didn't need him to clarify it to her. "Poor guy," she said. "It's so horrible to put yourself out there -- he didn't have to worry about it from my point of view."

The couple are parents to daughters Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 13 months. Garner admitted that her career has taken a back seat to her husband's, but that's the way she likes it. 

"I definitely work less because Ben is so busy but we have three kids, that's just part of the deal," she said. "I want to be a mom. I'm happy for him that he's as energized about work right now as he is. He should be out there doing it. That's just what makes sense for our family."

Jennifer Lawrence is Smoking

Smoking hot. But also just plain smoking. Page Six reports the Academy Award winning fiery young thing was seen Saturday night in New York City casually smoking a few cigarettes with friends. Some mom with cobwebs in her camel toe probably read about it and make a stink that the Hunger Games star is setting a bad example by smoking cigarettes, but fuck off. Jennifer also eats burgers and drinks beer and once told Rolling Stone that she doesn’t wash her hands after she pees. Basically, she doesn’t mind getting dirty or a being slight health risk or being a bit chubby so she’d probably let you raw dog her in the bum. I always just mostly assume that about girls I really dig because that puts them over the top, even if I’m not the dog. It’s easy to admire a girl who says fuck you to being proper.

(The above photo is not of Jennifer smoking death sticks over the weekend. It’s her smoking weed in Hawaii in February. Even hotter.)

Jennifer Garner Takes the Kids Out for a Morning Meal

Tweet Posted Saturday March 30, 2013 4:10 PM GMT

Heading out for a pre-holiday family breakfast, Jennifer Garner took all three of her little ones out for a bite to eat at Huckleberry Cafe & Bakery in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday (March 30).

The busy Hollywood mom had her hands full as she toted Samuel on her hip while keeping her daughters Violet and Seraphina close by.

Though Jen and her hubby, Ben Affleck, lead busy lives of their own, the pair always makes family time a priority.

Just the day before, Garner was pictured picking up her daughters from karate class in Santa Monica, and last week the happy Tinseltown family cheered on Violet at her basketball game and even made a fun trip to the farmer's market.

Hollywood Gossip

Enjoy the pictures of Jennifer Garner out to breakfast with Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel at Huckleberry Cafe & Bakery in Santa Monica, CA (March 30).
